The building was built in the old French style, its history goes back more than 100 years. Originally, the building housed the Central Ministry of Finance of the Qing dynasty, and later in 1949 it was converted into a Bank. Soon, the Bank changed its location and beautiful building remained deserted for several years until a collector of porcelain Lianzhi bought it for 1 million yuan. For four years he managed to turn the building into a unique structure decorated with porcelain. Today Yuebao House, is one of the Central attractions of China.
